0:00.0	You're listening to an Ono Media podcast. Hey everyone and welcome back to the Into the Dark podcast. I'm your
0:06.4	host, Peyton Morland. I'm so glad you are here listening. If you are watching on YouTube and can give
0:10.8	this video a thumbs up, drop a comment and even subscribe, that would be amazing. And if you are
0:15.9	listening on audio and can follow the show and also give a five star review. Thank you so, so much for supporting the show.
0:23.0	Now, before we get into today's episode, we need to go into my 10 seconds. And if you aren't
0:29.5	following me on Instagram, you should be number one. Number two, Garrett and I were just in St. George.
0:36.9	He actually took a little boys trip. But because
0:39.5	Garrett offered to pay for the place that we were all staying, I got to come along with Daisy.
0:44.9	And we just kind of kept to ourselves, but Daisy got to swim. Honestly, it was majority for her so
0:49.9	she could get in the pool and just have so much fun. And she was so excited because all the boys also

1:26.2	I think it's safe to say that almost all of us agree that murder is wrong.
1:30.7	But there's something fascinating about it too.
1:32.9	When you hear the story of a brutal killing, it is natural to want to learn more.
1:38.2	That is at the heart of a lot of true crime coverage.
1:42.2	We want to know all of the details of how someone died, how the police
1:45.6	investigated the crime, if the killer got caught. Honestly, we need to know everything. And as you're
